Day With A Trainer
A short-stay exclusive training program, Day With a Trainer, for dogs that need to over-come challenges and require intensive supervision with a trainer. This highly customized training is designed for Reactive/Aggressive dogs.
This new program provides multiple sessions delivered in one day with a trainer. The concentrated program is dedicated solely to training and does not include any daycare breaks that could be a focus distraction for some dogs in training.
Intensive and Individual Day Training
Day With a Trainer, provides up to 5 hours of training in a single day. Each dog will have one trainer who will work on the targeted goals for each dog. Owners will receive 3 updates throughout the day regarding progress on their specific goals.
In the first ‘Day With A Trainer’ 5-Hour Session (Day With a Trainer Assessment), the trainer conducts an in-depth evaluation of the dog and the intensity of the training required to achieve needed results. Following the Day with A Trainer Assessment, the trainer will recommend the Day With a Trainer 6-Pack, Board and Train, or Private Lessons.
Once the trainer has thoroughly evaluated your dog in the Day With a Trainer Assessment, a personalized day of training will be developed. This includes a variety of actives and techniques, some examples are:
- a personalized exercise regimen
- targeted socialization activities that may also include working with other socialized training dogs
- specific to drills and commands designed to motivate, reward and correct unwanted behaviors.
At the end of the day the trainer will speak with each owner to provide a specialized prescription for future growth and success based on the work done that day.
